Great guide with lots of interesting knowledge!

Kathryn_W, Apr 2024

We were the only two on our tour (a chilly weekday) but we never felt that Colin shortchanged us or was bummed that it was just us. In fact, we had a great tour and really learned a lot of tidbits we’d never have known about Chicago. He’s a great guide and I’d highly recommend him to anyone who wants the lowdown on the city’s history.

Colin was very...

Laura_D, Apr 2024

Colin was very knowledgeable about the city’s history and opened up an appreciation for the art, history and architecture that we wouldn’t have experienced otherwise. We had a great time.

Fabulous experience!

Great tour - thoroughly recommended

Brian_W, Oct 2023

Colin is really engaging - great guide and has lots of interesting stories about the city, its buildings and inhabitants over the years. He took us into the lobbies and second floors of several buildings that we wouldn’t have known we could go in on our own - spectacular interiors.

A great tour. An even greater guide

Such a great walking tour! Visited Chicago in April and highly enjoyed. Recommended to family who visited to Chicago after us and booked the same tour. Colin was incredibly informative and also very entertaining. He'd put so much thought into the tour including the small keep sake.

Awesome complete experience
